8. Catch a ride with Uber or Lyft – You’ll save a few bucks on the cost of a taxi.

7. Set a budget – Whether you love gambling, shopping or fine dining, Vegas has it all. Set a daily budget and stick to it.

6. Download the free CompuSport app – Make the most of your time in Vegas. You can see your tournament schedule anywhere, anytime on your phone. View CompuSport here!

3. Bring a good pair of walking shoes – The casinos are ginormous! It may look like the place you want to go is just across the street, but it’s probably a 30 minute walk!
